Cyber attacks target internet users with "special discounts on coronaviruses".



Cyber criminals around the world are taking advantage of the corona virus pandemic by targeting Internet users, including online hackers with dangerous malware in the form of "special COVID-19" offers. A cyber security company in a blog post also noted that the number of domains related to questionable corona viruses increased rapidly from January to the end of February, a time when the virus was spreading rapidly. The company also claimed that the special offers of several hackers promoting "goods" were sold on dark net with special discount codes "COVID19" or "corona virus". Some websites have also seen selling high-end products like the Mac-book Air at disposable prices as part of special discounts on corona viruses.
To resolve it, as the pandemic continues to spread around the world, netizens are looking for more for the latest information and updates on the online corona virus. As searches for corona viruses continue to increase, hackers are also attempting to speed up their phishing attempts through malicious corona virus domains. According to the information security firm, Check Point Research, registered in January over 16,000 new domains related to corona virus were registered. The company says these issues are 50 percent more likely to be harmful than other doubts.

The cyber security firm also claimed that the hacker was sent via junk mail. For example, a corona virus-themed phishing campaign severely affected about 10 percent of recommendations in Italy, where over three thousand disease deaths were reported.

Additionally, Check Point noted that hackers attack amateur cyber-attackers with special corona virus discounts on online hacking tools.
